LUBRICATING DEVICE -FOR SPINDLES.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 638,941, dated December 12, 1899.

Application filed Tune '7, 1897- To @ZZ wwnt t may concern:

Be it known that I, EUGEN RUDOLF SAT- TLER, engineer, a citizen of the Kingdom of Saxony, and a resident of Crimmitschau, in the Kingdom of Saxony and German Empire, have invented certain new and Auseful Improvements in Lubricating Devices for Spindles, (patented in Germany September 19, 1896, No. S8,455,) of which the following is a Specification.

My invention relates especially to a lubricant-holder adapted for use in connection with a gang of spindles, as in the foot and neck bearing of spinning, doubling, or spooling machines; and the object of my invention is mainly to supply the bearing-surfaces of each of said spindles independently with an evenly-distributed supply of lubricating material pressed out from alubricant of fatty non-flowing consistency, as paraffin, fatty, or hydrocarbon compounds, which Will not melt down and iioiv because of ordinary frictional heat and run down over and be thrown off from the surface of the spindles by centrifugal action, by which means the machine itself Will be kept cleaner and the spindles and straps will not be overrun with oil, thus effecting a more economical useof the same.

My invention consists, primarily, in providing each gang of similar bearings upon the same horizontal plane with a single lubricantbox communicating with all of, said bearings and adapted to compress the lubricant equally to all of said bearings; and myinvention further consists in certain details of construction adapted to carry out the aforesaid object, as will hereinafter appear.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a front elevation of my invention; Fig. 2, an enlarged transverse sectional detail of the devicegfFig. 3, a plan view, partly in section, of said device as shown in Fig. l.

The spindles A are supported at the neck in sleeve-bearings B, iitted in a neck-rail O', secured to the frame cross-bars D of any WellknoWn or preferred construction.

The sleeve-bearings of the spindles may be secured to the neck-rail C by screw-threads, as shown in Fig. 2, and the lubricating-boxes E may be formed of two gutter-shaped or Serial No. 639,747. (No model.)

three-sided sections E and E2, tted one over the other and secured together by vertical screw-bolts c. (Shown in elevation by dotted lines in Fig. l and shown by plan -in Fig. 3.) The inner section E2 of the box E is provided with angle-plates N, one side of which is held transversely through the lubricating-box E to provide a xed position opposite each of the spindle-bearings, and the other side of said angle-plates N is held securely against the inner face of the section E2 by means of screw-threaded tube-sections H', which latter are screwed into the sleeve-bearing B and serve both as a conduit for 'the lubricant from the box E and also as means for securing the boxes E in a simple and effective manner upon the spindle-bearings. The boxes E have piston slide-plates-M, which are fitted vertically to extend between the top and bottom plates of the box and slide against the inner face of the outer side thereof, and the said pistonplates have L-shaped or angle piston-plates m, which conform to the cross-section of the inside of the box to freely slide therein with the plate m and compress the lubricating material between the L-shaped plates m and n opposite each bearing, and thus force the lubricant through the conduit-tubes Il uniformly upon each of the journal-bearings as the plate M is drawn or adjusted longitudinally in the box.

Y I claim as myinvention and desire to secure by Letters Patent- A device for contin uallylubricatinga series of axles consisting in a tube, arranged parallel with the bearings to be lubricated and being divided by partitions corresponding with the axles and communicating with the bearings of the axles; a rod having an equal number of shoulders sliding in said tube; substantially as, and for the purpose described.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my invention I have signed my name in pres'- ence of two subscribing-Witnesses.

EUGEN RUDOLF SATTLER.

W. HAUPT, HENRY HASPER.
